Converting Canon t2i footage to edit in Vegas pro 9

[Rex Brown]

Playback? As in playing on the timeline?

It will be horrible if you edit the native HD files from the camera. Unless you have a monster machine. Or two!

I use Neoscene, but let me tell you, it doesn’t solve the playback issue. It’s a problem, no matter what HD format you use. If you can’t stand it, find another NLE…unless someone has an answer to this problem. I know I haven’t found the answer yet.

I used Neoscene when I edited these files in Vegas 8 and the playback was actually great. Now I don’t convert at all when using Vegas 10, and the playback is tolerable, but I still think it’s better than the time and space to convert over 100MB of files for each project.

I have used Epic I from DVFilm with Vegas 9 and now with Vegas 10, I just drop the footage on the timeline, no conversion or proxies and it works really well.

I even edited right off the sd card to the Vegas timeline and it worked. And also rendered from the sd card!

I really believe Vegas 10 is the way to go if you are planning on editing Canon DSLR footage.

hello

how did you get Epic working in Vegas 10??

does it work even though DVFilm says it is not supported?

any tricks to it??

[Robert St-onge]

Don’t know if Epic is supported in Vegas 10, but then you don’t need it since V10 is really optimized to handle DSLR footage.

Just drop your footage on the timeline and edit, that’s it!

well on my macpro is not very snappy (not nearly as snappy as with epic)

i will try in on my newer iMac

would love epic in 10 though…might even have to install 9 for this project
